Emails on Hunter Biden's laptop show that his role on the Burisma Board of Directors was to lobby high-ranking US government officials to use their influence to persuade the Ukraine government to shut down all criminal charges against the company. This objective was achieved by none other than then Vice-President Joe Biden when he threatened to withhold a billion-dollar US aid package to Ukraine unless the prosecutor pursuing charges against Burisma was fired. The prosecutor was fired within a few hours—an outcome the VP publicly boasted about afterward.
"A lot of people were saying that my son was unqualified for the $80,000 per month salary he got from Burisma," President Biden said. "They said he knew nothing about the oil and gas business. That he didn't have any marketable skills. Well, lobbying is a very marketable skill. And, son-of-a-bitch, Hunter did an outstanding job. His company's boss got off the hook due to Hunter's efforts and connections."
The President also pointed to the FBI's refusal to investigate Hunter's laptop prior to the 2020 election as "proof that neither he nor I did anything wrong. The FBI is the nation's most-respected law enforcement agency. If I had committed a crime there is no way that they would have allowed me to run for president. The media wouldn't have suppressed information regarding the matter. This helped the American people realize that I am not a criminal. That's why 81 million of them confidently voted for me."
While the lobbying done by Hunter may not have been illegal, per se, the extortion exerted by his father was an abuse of his office. While this type of abuse is common in politics, it does not serve the public interest. The failure to prosecute this type of extortion erodes respect for law and order. This phenomenon is especially prevalent among our governing elite who now turn a blind eye toward the crimes of rioting in the streets, assaulting innocent victims, and even committing murders. If the police happen to arrest anyone for these crimes progressively-minded prosecutors and judges let them go free without bail. Later they may use "prosecutorial discretion" and decline to try these law-breakers.

Use the same criteria as that put on Nixon. Resign now Joe.
Thanks John.
